performance and reduces the load on deduplication appliances by eliminating the data
rehydration required to process the backup copy job retention policy, or to create a new GFS
(Grandfather-Father-Son) restore point. Enabling this option will disable a full backup

for retention processing). Instead, GFS full backup files will be created by copying the most
recent VM state data from the primary backup storage in its entirety.
